We need a public inquiry into new nuclear says Hughes
Thu, 11 Mar 2010
Liberal Democrat Shadow Energy and Climate Change Secretary, Simon Hughes today called on the Government to hold a public inquiry into the ‘Justification’ for new nuclear power stations.
Commenting, Simon Hughes said:
“It would be completely unacceptable for the Government to rush through new nuclear in its last days in office without a public inquiry.
“New reactors still haven’t been approved and no-one knows how we’re going to deal with the deadly waste.
“Ed Miliband has made himself judge and jury having already expressed a clear view on new nuclear.
“The Liberal Democrats are strongly opposed to a new generation of nuclear power. We must have an immediate full and transparent public inquiry before any decision is made.”
